The Lies of Locke Lamoraīefore I listened to this audiobook, I had no idea a voice artist could be so versatile and skilled with accents and voices. If you are thinking of trying out an audiobook for the first time, or if you’re a fan looking for new listens, these are ones I highly recommend checking out: 1.

So today I thought I would list my 5 favourite science fiction and fantasy audiobooks to date. These are ones where not only the story itself is brilliant, but where the performance of the voice artist (or artists) is so excellent and appropriate that it takes the book to new heights, and makes for an amazing listening experience. I have an Audible subscription and I listen to between 1 and 2 audiobooks a month, which may not sound like a lot, but when each one can last for between 8 and 30 hours (most being around the 10-18hr mark) it equates to a lot of time spent listening.Īmidst all of this listening, I find particular books stand out. I still read hard copy books, but I like the flexibility audiobooks allow me to do other things while “reading” and how the story really comes to life when narrated by a great voice actor. I’ve previously told the story of how I fell in love with them on this blog.
